    There isn't much in terms of groceries in Arnold, so this place was the place to be. Some of the…read moreitems were a bit expensive, however we were glad to find all of the groceries we needed for our meals. It was conveniently located near gas stations and restaurants and our vacation rental. The people working there were very friendly too.

    I walked into Big Trees Market at 6:50 PM last night (3/31) to grab a few quick items. There were…read morestill multiple customers shopping--completely normal. At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing

    BRUH. F O O D…read moreFiyaaaaahhh Went here post hike and pickleball to fuel up on their sandwiches and cookies. We got their roast beef and cubano and let me tell you, they DID NOT disappoint. We agreed that the Cuban took the cake but both had lots of flavor to offer. Then for our sweet tooth, the cowboy cookie & oatmeal cranberry toffee cookie. Both were delicious, crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. S E R V I C E Great! Quick, efficient and we got our food out pretty quick considering the lines were crazy at that time. We went around 11 but there was still lots of places to sit and enjoy our food outside. A M B I E N C E One of the many cute market/delis that are here on the west shore of Tahoe. They got a little market with groceries, wine/beer, and goods. A coffee/bake house counter and outdoor seating area that's both shaded and not. There's also blankets out there to use for colder times.

    Outstanding location. Great selection. Definitely worth stopping by and walking around to note the…read morevariety of options/products. However not all is perfect at West Shore Market. If a patron tells you they lost their credit card it's likely they're in distress. And if someone is looking unhappy (or just seems that way) it could simply be that circumstances "caught up to them" on that one or two days you saw them in your store. Treating them like shit because they're in trouble is aweful in my opinion. Just one person there doing that, but she seems to be everywere there. Definitely not cool. Not the owner/manager. That person seems very professional, efficient and smart. Great place, but don't expect to think they care about you even if you spend a lot of money and keep to yourself. Not all of us are able to relax and have fun. Some of us, through no fault of our own, are in need of food and a break and a place to figure our next moves. It's not our fault that you are the only place nearby with food and internet!
